When we were preparing the magic weapon, Bai Wei told Chen Guosheng, Lao Si and others that now it was not only the two Japanese onmyoji who were locked in the trunk of the car, but also the second sister Liu who was taught by the alien people, telling everyone to be cautious and not have any problems, and then it didn't take long for me and Xiaofei to prepare the magic weapons and application things, and Chen Yuejin took the three of us into Wangmatai Village.

Not long after entering the village, we were led to the front of our house by Chen Yuejin, and before we could enter the courtyard, we heard a 'squeak' monkey cry from inside.

Opened the chain lock on the door, Chen Yuejin tremblingly led us into the courtyard, I swept the measurement, and saw a row of rusty iron cages under the left wall of the courtyard of the Chen family, stacked one on top of the other, stacked in six rows, there were twenty or thirty cages, of which only three or four cages contained monkeys, and the other cages were empty.

Seeing this, I asked Chen Yuejin: "You have so many monkeys at home, why do you put so many cages?" ”

"You don't know, these cages are also handed down from my ancestors."

Chen Yuejin replied: "In the past, when my grandfather and my father were here, the business of playing monkeys was much better than now, and it was also more profitable than now, so there were many people from all over the country who came to learn from the teacher. When there were more people who came to learn how to play monkeys, there were more monkeys needed, so at that time these cages were full, and the family raised twenty or thirty monkeys alone. Later, in my generation, there were fewer people watching monkey tricks, business was declining more and more, and it was useless to raise so many monkeys, so most of the cages have been empty until now......"

Chen Yuejin said as he led us forward, and sighed with a long sigh as he walked, and said: "Hey, when I first married Xiaomei, I was happy for a while, not because I couldn't find a daughter-in-law, but now I have finally become a ......."

"What's the reason for that?" Xiaofei asked: "Is it because your daughter-in-law has cerebral palsy, you are like this?" ”

As soon as Xiao Fei finished speaking, she was pinched from behind by Bai Wei, glared at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense, after worshipping Xiao Liuzi as a teacher, why did your mouth become so broken?" ”

Xiao Fei stuck out his tongue, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly closed his mouth.

At this time, I heard Chen Yuejin continue to say: "Little girl, you don't like what you say, who wants to marry a stupid daughter-in-law by yourself?" The reason why I was happy at that time was not because my grandson's family was rich. Although his family is now living a decent life, it can be different, Xiaomei's grandfather used to be the head of our Wangmatai Village, the family stood on the ground and lay on the ground, food and clothing did not worry, the most loved mountain delicacies, wild game delicacies, was a well-known landlord in our village...... Hey, I thought that although Xiaomei was sick and burned out her brain, she was also the granddaughter of the old grandson's family, and the money left by her grandfather had to be shared with the two of us, right? ”

"Then did his family give it to you?"

Hearing my question, Chen Yuejin shook his head and sighed: "If it is given to me, will I still need to play monkeys to support my family?" But people are also worthy of me, after Xiaomei and I got married, our parents took care of us a lot...... How did you think that Xiaomei's life was so hard, she died at a young age...... Hey, death is death, why do you make so many things for me after you die? I can't go back to ...... even if I have a home."

As he spoke, Chen Yuejin led Bai Wei, Xiaofei and the three of us into the house, Chen Yuejin reached out and wanted to touch the lantern rope, but was stopped by Bai Wei.

Chen Yuejin didn't think much about it, so he raised his hand and pointed to the kang and said, "This is the room where I slept, as soon as Xiaomei came back, she wandered around in this room, tidying up and sitting, and then staring at me......"

While listening to Chen Yuejin's words, Bai Wei walked around the room twice, nodded and said, "The yin atmosphere in this room is indeed not clean, and it is ......."

Halfway through the words, Bai Wei suddenly raised her nose and sniffed it carefully, frowned and said, "Moreover, why is there a strange smell in the house, it's a ......?"

Hearing what Bai Wei said, Chen Yuejin scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "Don't be surprised, that strange smell should be the smell of monkeys, I have been in contact with monkeys all year round, and it is inevitable that I will bring the smell to the house......"

Hearing Chen Yuejin say this, Bai Wei didn't take it seriously, so she instructed me and Xiaofei to move into a table from the middle hall, and asked Chen Yue to go in and steam a pot of white rice, and after putting three bowls on the table, we began to arrange the ritual tools on the table......

When arranging, Bai Wei asked Chen Yuejin again: "By the way, how often does your daughter-in-law come back, have you calculated it carefully?" ”

Chen Yuejin shook his head and replied, "Where do I have the leisure to calculate that, and there is no fixed time for her to come back......"

Chen Yuejin said and looked up at the quartz clock on the wall, and said, "Look, it's almost twelve o'clock, if you are unlucky, maybe you may run into her tonight...... Bah, don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, God bless don't touch ......"

Bai Wei ignored him, and when Xiaofei and I set up the altar, I saw her take out a peach stick and rune paper from the magic bag, and said to me and Xiaofei: "Neither of you are my apprentices, and it stands to reason that I am not obliged to teach you things, but who called the master of the two of you, one has no time, and the other is an idiot, so I can only teach the Fa on my behalf, and you can study the Dharma for your ancestors......

After Bai Wei finished speaking, I said with a little dissatisfaction on the side: "Bai Wei, I don't have time to be fake, but Bai Long is your brother after all, how can you scold him for being an idiot?" ”

"Get out of here!"

Bai Wei glared at me fiercely, didn't continue to pay attention to me, mixed the cinnabar ink, wrote a talisman and a mantra, and asked Chen Yue to come and put a piece of Xiaomei's supplies on the altar, and began to do the rituals.

"Amitabhi Vigarandi, Amitabhi Galanda, Gami, Gagana ......"

Bai Wei closed her eyes and recited the mantra, at first the expression on her face was relaxed and peaceful, but after reciting the mantra three times, seeing that the time passed minute by minute, the hour and minute hands of the quartz clock were almost pointing to twelve o'clock, Bai Wei's face became more and more solemn......

I saw that something was wrong, so I whispered to Bai Wei, "Bai Wei, what's wrong?" ”

Bai Wei opened her eyes, frowned and replied: "It's not quite right, forgetting to recite the mantra of the past life to send the spirit, I can penetrate the Yellow Spring with my mind and spirit, and I can vaguely see the deceased embarking on the path of bliss, but this time, I can't even connect it, no matter how I look at it, I can't see it......."

"What's going on?" I was busy asking questions.

Bai Wei was still frowning, and after a silence, she turned her head to look at Chen Yuejin and asked, "Chen Yuejin, is it really your wife Sun Xiaomei who often comes home?" ”

"Of course! How can this be fake? Chen Yuejin hurriedly replied: "I can't recognize anyone wrong, I can't mistake my wife!" It's Xiaomei who came, you can't go wrong......"

"That's weird......"

Bai Wei's face became more and more heavy, and as she spoke, she put down her peach stick and raised her hand and began to calculate, and after a while, she saw Bai Wei suddenly look up at the roof, staring closely at the black roof and began to look at it......

"Bai Wei, what's wrong?" I also hurriedly followed Bai Wei's appearance and began to stare at the roof carefully, at first glance I didn't notice anything, but after a closer look, I could vaguely see a black mist on the roof was flowing slowly, flowing faster and faster, gathering more and more thick......

"What's wrong with this yin qi?" I can't help but ask.

Bai Wei replied: "You can also see it, the yin qi condensed in this room is getting heavier and heavier, it seems that our luck is really not very good, she ...... Came back......"

As soon as he heard Bai Wei's words, Chen Yuejin was so frightened that he suddenly gasped, and he wanted to run out, but as soon as he moved, Bai Wei reached out and grabbed him by the neck from behind, and dragged him back.

Chen Yuejin was so frightened that his legs were weak and he was already at a loss, so he heard Bai Wei dragging him and shaking his head: "Don't go out, it's too late, just right, I have to observe carefully, what kind of thing are you grinding?" Quick, go to sleep on the kang! ”

As he spoke, Bai Wei pushed Chen Yuejin down on the kang, Chen Yuejin was so frightened that the six gods didn't care about it, and he pulled the quilt in a panic and lay down, at this time, Bai Wei also blew out the two white waxes lit on the altar, jumped on the kang with me and Xiaofei, hid in the window and opened a curtain crack, and began to peek at the situation in the courtyard outside......

We hid on the kang and waited, and after waiting for about a few minutes, I turned my head to look at my watch, and it was exactly twelve o'clock, and I heard a burst of laughter in the courtyard where there had been a quiet sound and only occasionally a few monkey calls......

I followed the direction of the laughter to the direction of the monkey cage on the left side of the courtyard, and I don't know when, there was an extra figure in the empty yard, standing in front of the monkey cage and smirking, it is conceivable that it should be Xiaomei.

After laughing for a while, Xiaomei began to get busy in the yard, scooping out the feed from the vat next to the cage to mix it with water, and then began to add feed to the cage one by one......

Seeing this, Bai Wei hurriedly pulled down a few futons from the quilt at the corner of the kang, and after distributing them to me and Xiaofei, she asked us to cover ourselves with the futon and lie on the kang and not move, and then also covered herself with a quilt, and after lying down, she hid in the quilt and lifted a quilt corner, and began to peek outside......

We had only been hiding for a long time, and then we heard the footsteps outside getting closer and closer, Xiaomei staggered into the house, first opened the door curtain, and saw the altar on the floor of the house at first sight, and then began to look around the black hole in the room.

But after looking around for a while, seeing that there was no movement in the house, Xiaomei didn't get suspicious, and began to wander around the room for a while, and after two turns, as Chen Yuejin said, she actually picked up a feather duster and began to clean up the house......
